The highlight for this week is Muhammad Izz Saifuddin defeating an FM Mihok Oliver rated at 2402 at the World Youth U16 Olympiad 2007 in Singapore.

This game was played in the first round.

The final position shows that White is just slightly better despite probably missing Nxh6 (according to Fritz) in the last move with a better position. Either Black won on time or the rest of the move was not recorded in the bulletin.
update:
Thanks Kaushal and a guest member in the shoutbox for pointing out the error in the bulletin. 29. Bd5 should logically be the correct move instead of 29. Bd7.

    Izz is White. No continuation. The game ends there at the last move because Black’s Queen is trapped. Black resigns.
